Distances by Road

Map Showing Places in Distance Tables Below

The tables below show the distances in miles
by road between the places identified on the map
above. The large table covers mainland Scotland, while smaller tables cover
individual island groups. The table in the top right gives distances between
four English cities, two of which are important ferry ports, and four Scottish
cities. Using this in combination with the other tables allows a comprehensive
set of road distances to be easily established.

For example: how far is it from Hull in England to Dunvegan
on Skye? The "England & Scotland" table shows that Hull to Edinburgh is 246
miles; the "Scottish Mainland" table shows that Edinburgh to Kyle of Lochalsh
is 201 miles; and the "Isle of Skye" table shows that Kyle to Dunvegan is 48
miles. The total journey via Edinburgh is thus 495 miles. If you prefer to work
in kilometers, multiply the result by 1.61, giving 797km for the journey.
